So,
Just making sure I have this all straight.
If I would like to have a file chase timecode,
I have to create the file with timecode built in, and would use the inframe and outframe to adjust as necessary.
and then just use the correct playmode to allow that file to chase?
Do I have that correct?
Thanks,
Joshua Wood
You can use any file.
Just make sure that your incoming timecode is in the range that Catalyst supports:
- Hours of Timecode are ignored
- Highest Timecode frame number is 65535 or X:43:41:10 (for 25 fps setups)
Select either Midi or SMPTE sync (don´t forget to activate Sound In for that)
That´s it.
And make sure the sound input minijack port is fine - I had a show stopped yesterday because of a broken input and movie staying in frame 0...
you dont have to create a video file with timecode - the timecode source would be external - ie from a sound playback system...Quote:

Outframe has no control.
And as Olli mentioned - if working at 25fps, you cant sync a track past 43 mins as ther arent enough 16 bit values (65536 = 43mins aprox @25fps)
There is an offset function available on the SMPTE device in the catalyst control window - however, it doesnt work as expected!...
basically - avoid anything over 43mins and move it to the next hour...
And If I have a video file longer than 43 minutes?
any suggestions?
Thanks,
ask Richard for instructions and a solution...
S
no problem, I probably can break up any longer files into smaller items.
Thanks,
